Have any of your instructors in BIO 156, 201, or 202 hammered you about proper citations in your essays? I took 156 and 201 and never did citations and it was not an issue. I always used the information from the textbook. Now I am in 202 and my teacher is killing me with this. My first essay I didn't cite anything because I didn't have to in previous classes. She deducted about 30 points. On assignment 2 I included citations but made some errors and forgot to cite some of my sentences so I got a ZERO. I went from A to C in one fell swoop. I am pretty upset, but having the issue reviewed by the department chair.
